'HillRod' from WWE Raw...looks like she's ready to "GO".

The tips are the key to make UE 700 work (so what else is new, eh?).  I found them to be really sibilant with virtually all of the supplied tips, and since I don't like the sound of foamies that excludes the Comply tips as a possible solution.  Decided to try to shove the treble-killing Shure...

When you switch this new Shuffle off then switch back on (say, the next day), does it resume playback where it left off?  Always found 1G Shuffle's erratic behavior on this annoying.

Not going to speculate on the problem, but there clearly is a unique issue here.  I've had the 700s for a couple of months now, and I may actually have begun to prefer them to my SE530s and Image X10s.  And believe me, I know how to CRANK them UP, and no hint of distortion.  The falling out...

Well, I was about to start a thread about the 700s but this one will do.  I purchased them as my 'lawnmower' IEMs -- you know, the ones I'd pop in when I had yard work to do so didn't want to worry about sweat, etc., because they were the 'cheapies'.  I have the venerable SE530s which are still...

Just got 'em myself. Lowest I could find (amongst authorized online dealers) was $329 in a price-match with Amazon.com. They're really great IEMs, even if at that price they're still a little high..nothing else like them though AFAIK.

It CAN be done, just results in a much larger file size but equal quality (to the mp3 file). No reason to do it on the Clip because it plays mp3s natively like every other player. I actually transcoded 'up' to FLAC from some iTunes-purchased AAC files (256 kbps) in order to load/play on my Clip...

I'm finding the X10s to be great 'everyday' phones, very easy to just pick up with the iPod nano and go without giving much thought to it and wearing most of the day. They just don't call much attention to themselves, either sonically or physically, and provide a terrific listening experience...

Got the X10s today!! Initial impression with the large single-flange gel tips...Beautiful. A little persnickity in achieving a working seal because the little beasties are so dang small. You NEED to get a perfect seal to get these to fly -- you can unfortunately arrive at a pseudo-seal with them...

Here's a vote against the Shure Olives. I haven't developed a taste for their effect on sound sig on my Image S4s, and as noted above they can actually stick on the phone and become VERY difficult to remove (almost to the point of breaking the stalk). As far as the Klipsch Gels, I too have...

I've become so bass-oriented these days, that Shure SE530s need a little help for me to enjoy them. I purchased the Klipsch Image S4s recently and got the thump going and haven't looked back. Problem now is I've grown somewhat weary of excessive and muddy bass I get with the S4/Shure grey tips...

Interesting. Wonder why they would offer me a 'mic'ed product as the only version. I guess Klipsch believes convergence of smart phones and DAPs is universal. Not so for me, as I keep the devices quite separate. Hmmm.

Well, still no confirmation on any of this. I just ordered the X10s from Audio Advisor anyway, 'cause it's not like Klipsch is going out of business and they still have warranty. I just began seeing the signs - including the X10 not being listed for sale on klipsch.com (although they ARE listed...

Several online dealers are showing 'discontinued' item for Image X10 model. Anyone know what the story is?

Well, here's a link to B&H Photo...says 'manufacturer discountinued' -- Klipsch | Image X10 In-Ear Stereo Headphones | IMAGE X10 | B&H

Thank you for that. I was not able to load that page before. In fact, if you click on the 'Buy Now' button at klipsch.com - and select headphones only ten are listed (NOT Image X10)...but if you select 'Products' button from that same main page, eleven headphones are listed INCLUDING Image X10...

Haven't seen any other threads on this despite multiple searches. It appears that only the Image X10i (w/microphone for iPhone) is continuing on...any dealer with original X10s have limited stock only. Even Klipsch website no longer lists X10. Anyone know what happened? Was cable issue...

Shiggy, I know of your love for the nano 3rd Gen. Will you be including any references in comparison to that player?

Thing is, ucrags84 had offered a suggestion which at the time was summarily dismissed..i.e., "yeah, right ...headphone problems with SE530s". I had replaced them within the last three months, so their integrity was out of the question. But the idea was planted in the back of my mind, and...

An update: converting AAC files to WAV format on the Shuffle makes them play normally...could be decoding there. Don't know what to say about the rest.

So, playing the new Transatlantic album Whirlwind my BNIB 1st Gen iPod Shuffle (yes the stick gum one) began to skip horribly. My first thought was,'crap - should've known there had to be something wrong with this "new" 4-yr-old DAP'. So I load up a different album (one that had played without...

Nice to see Cowon getting beyond the thick-as-a-brick form factor and into the 21st Century. If this player has their solid SQ it could be very tempting.
